I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience spanning AI/ML, LLM applications, and full-stack development. My journey has taken me from building scalable platforms (Zing MP3 - pre-installed on Samsung Galaxy Y Vietnam) to leading R&D teams that delivered 20% annual revenue growth at Zalo/VNG.

Currently at MoMo as Senior Tech Lead, I'm architecting LLM-powered applications including deep-research agents, multi-document reasoning systems, financial advisory platforms, and self-improving coding agents. I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science from University of Saarland, Germany, with focus on Algorithms & Data Structures.
